“Shawn’s ability to provide financial leadership allows Choice’s senior management team to focus on identifying the right partners for the platform,” Choice President Richard Braun said in a statement. “Shawn’s experience will be instrumental as we continue to bring on new agency partners.”
McArdle was most recently a regional CFO at Illinois-based Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. He has spent more than 15 years working as a senior finance executive.
